|  | 23 | ---help--- | 
|  | 24 | Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network | 
|  | 25 | drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state | 
|  | 26 | of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of | 
|  | 27 | testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually | 
|  | 28 | known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is | 
|  | 29 | currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage | 
|  | 30 | uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to | 
|  | 31 | avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active | 
|  | 32 | testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it | 
|  | 33 | may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work | 
|  | 34 | in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar | 
|  | 35 | with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers | 
|  | 36 | (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents | 
|  | 37 | <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>, | 
|  | 38 | <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and | 
|  | 39 | <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source). | 
|  | 40 |  | 
|  | 41 | This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are | 
|  | 42 | drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are | 
|  | 43 | scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release. | 
|  | 44 |  | 
|  | 45 | Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that | 
|  | 46 | falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires | 
|  | 47 | using these features, you should probably say N here, which will | 
|  | 48 | cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If | 
|  | 49 | you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or | 
|  | 50 | drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase. |
